If you're getting frequency out of range errors, then the 390 you have is a single-band model, not dual band.

What frequency are you trying to monitor?

It's in the 155 series if you need the whole thing let me know thanks for replying

The MD-UV390 tops out at 480 MHz.

The MD-UV390 tops out at 480 MHz.

OP said 155 MHz, which should be in the range of 136-174MHz it is advertised to handle, however you might check programming software to see if limits were placed on the frequency ranges.

I did notice that when I go to try and program it's showing 400 series first and is anyway to move the 400s to the bottom of the screen thanks for replying

Well that's definitely within the range. Can you program anything outside the ham bands? What does the software say if you enter 145.000? How about 444.000?

Some of these radios are shipping locked down to the ham bands to avoid certification issues. I don't know if the UV390 is one of those. I bought mine several years ago and it was not locked down.
